Daniel, You wouldn't really be able to delete the data in your buckets in doing so, you would also be deleting your transactions. Unless you are just talking about the Money Flows. To correct the out-of-balance condition, I recommend changing your Initial Cash Flow amount by the diffe

When this happened to me recently, I found it was because I had started tracking expenses in MoneyFlow as of March 1st, but every time I use the Download feature to get transactions from my checking account, it downloads a bunch of transactions from February that throw off the amounts (for some re

Thanks to Lance,Blair, Trish, and Kevin for your responses. I tried Trish's approach with the transfers. It helped, but then created a new negative balance in my credit card account (which really is 0). I appreciate Lance's comments but they really don't apply as I never use the download featur

Ugh! I'm getting more and more confused about my quandary. I've spent the last 4 1/2 hours trying to get my MoneyWell account in some kind of workable condition. I'm hesitant to do anything with my original account now that I have this new deficit in my credit card account. I'm not sure how it

Daniel, You're not alone. I feel your pain. I've spent the past few days working on getting mine right, I've watched every video 2-3 times and read and sometimes re-read the great articles. Also searched through previous posts, etc... I think I've finally done it! Start by making sure nothing

Kevin and Daniel, One thing that I didn't like about the export and import is that the export and import functions aren't fully reversible (at least not when I did this a few months ago since Jan 1). It may be pretty obscure, but I had been using Alt + Enter in order to use multiple lines i

This is an extremely clear and helpful explanation. (I've been having similar difficulties to the original poster). The fact that you have to write it up as you did, and the fact that I have now printed it to have next to my computers, seems to indicate a difficulty that some people have wit

Blair, Thank you very much for this explanation. It is quite helpful. I recreated my accounts according to your suggestions and have found a few "traits" of MoneyWell that I didn't know existed before. Frankly, for my scenario, I find them annoying. However, I presume the behavior is to prevent

Thank you, Lance, Terry, and Kevin. Lance, you are correct - I did not know that I could change the cash flow start date. I have since watched the video tutorial. Terry, I appreciate your comments about MoneyFlow. I'm ok with not knowing the MoneyFlow for my new document. I have my original doc

Thanks for your note, Kevin. It does mean Jan. 1. I set the cash flow date to the beginning of the year in order to keep my business transactions from my original document. There is no MoneyFlow for any of these transactions, but that is fine with me. I think the MoneyFlows will start with any n
